Scarlet Diva (DVD)
The debut film effort from celebrity horror director Dario Argento`s daughter, Asia Argento, SCARLET DIVA is a rambunctious, egocentric vanity project shot on digital video. The sassy and erotic Argento conjures a meandering and brashly compelling world of violence, sex, drugs, and rock and roll, with herself at the center playing an alter ego, Anna Battista. Following Battista, a celebrated and debauched actress, through her breakneck adventures, the crisply photographed film evokes the fast cut style of music videos. As the wildly inventive plot veers towards the fantastical, Argento shines as the hard living Battista who withstands myriad sexual liaisons, pesky adoration from fans and award ceremonies, lecherous producers and the heartbreak of being abandoned by a drug addicted rock star whose baby she is carrying. The futuristic urban soap opera inventively melds satire, melodrama, and fantasy film to create a highly personal and visionary narrative that reflects the disintegrating boundaries of media and morals heralded by the arrival of the 21st Century.NR"

Lola Montes (DVD)
LOLA MONTES, the last film by Max Oph|ls, is one of the most celebrated examples of both wide screen CinemaScope and lush Technicolor in film history. Added to this is Oph|ls` usual use of sweeping crane shots and angled tracking shots, making this a beautiful, creative film. It is the story of Lola Montes (Martine Carol), the 19th Century dancer who was famous for her scandalous affairs with everyone from Franz List (Will Quadflieg) to Ludwig, the King of Bavaria (Anton Walbrook). At the end of her career she was the main attraction at a circus in the United States which featured a lavish tableaux of scenes from her life. The ringmaster, played by Peter Ustinov, leads the circus audience through her life, and also cues the cinematic flashbacks. Oph|ls had used a similar structure in his adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler`s play REIGEN in his film LA RONDE. Here, although not in chronological order, the flashbacks span Lola`s life, covering everything from her early unhappy marriage to a drunken military officer, who she leaves to embark on a career as a dancer, to a very short affair with a German student played by a young Oskar Werner. Oph|ls, with his always-moving camera, gives the story a wonderful sense of historical drama.NR"
